If you are a believer, Christ is in you. However, do you know that He is in you as your hope of glory? It is a mystery that God wills to make known to every believer in Christ - Colossians 1:27. This hope, known as the seed of divine glory requires your cooperation in order to grow.

 

Firstly, you need to establish that Christ is in you. If you have believed in the name of Jesus and you have confessed that He is your Lord, He dwells in you as the seed of divine glory. If you have not done this, simply pray: Lord Jesus, I believe that You are God’s eternal Son who became a sinless man, died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead to become a life-giving Spirit. Lord, I receive You as my Saviour and life. Come into my spirit, regenerate me with Your divine life. Become my indwelling hope of glory.

 

Having established that Christ is in you, the next thing to do is to let Him grow. Let Christ gradually spread His life of glory in you by transforming your soul. You need to cooperate with His continuous work of transformation. 2 Corinthians 3:18 - But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

Finally, Christ will be the glory expressed from within you at the transfiguration of your body

 

At salvation, God firstly regenerated our spirit (John 3:6), now is transforming our soul (Rom. 12:2), and will ultimately transfigure our body, making us the same as Christ. My prayer is that God Almighty will give you the grace to cooperate with this seed of glory within you. Amen.
